I've only used a little music for my STAP games. However, there have been a few times when music has really enhanced the encounter. I thought I'd share some of the themes I've used and ask if anybody has ideas for theme music for other villains/NPCs/places/encounters.
The Sea Wyvern - Pirates of the Caribbean theme song
Iggwilv - Pruit Igoe and Prophecies (Watchmen motion picture soundtrack)
Orcus - Night on Bald Mountain
Saint Kargoth - Facing Darth Sion (KotOR II soundtrack)
Final battle with Vanthus in Divided's Ire - Duel of the Fates (Phantom Menace motion picture soundtrack)
Wat Dagon - Malachor V (KotOR II soundtrack)
I could use some ideas for theme music for:
Charon/traveling the Styx
Obox-ob (super creepy)
Malcanthet (seductive yet sinister)
and, of course, Demogorgon himself
Theme music for stuff prior to these will be appreciated by the many STAP GMs who visit these forums.
Check out Dragon 355! It's got a whole article suggesting music for the different episodes of STAP.

I have always thought that Kansas' Magnum Opus had an interesting D&D vibe and different sections might be used for adding mood to encounters, like the Charon and Obox-ob encounters you specify above.
There is a short (maybe 30 sec) vocal interlude, but the rest is instrumental about 8 or 9 minutes or something like that.

I created a Pandora radio station and set it up like this:
Artist Seeds
Braveheart (Film Score) 01-20-2011
Gladiator (Film Score) 01-20-2011
Midnight Syndicate 01-20-2011
Pirates Of The Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (Film Score) 01-20-2011
Sleepy Hollow (Film Score) 01-20-2011
The Dark Knight (Film Score) 01-20-2011
The Lord Of The Rings (Film Score) 01-20-2011
It seems to work pretty well for us.

The Dragon 355 stuff is great! I can't believe I never noticed that before.
I was able to find most of it on iTunes, but iTunes doesn't have a couple of the tracks. They're generically named so I don't know what they're from. Can anybody identify these 2 tracks?
9 - Isle of Dread "Main Title"
20 - The Crimson Fleet "Night Battle"
Once upon a time iTunes had all the tracks compiled in one place as lists or collections or something. I managed to track them down several months ago on their website. I don't remember where I found them on the site, though, or whether they're still there. I do remember I had to do some digging!
I think Night Battle I may have figured out; I'll check my tracks when i get home to the right computer :).
Oh, and btw, if you like using sound elements in your game, check out a free program called Softrope. I've been able to work wonders with it.
I think "Night Battle" comes from the First Knight soundtrack. I hope the soundtrack is better than the movie! ;)
I'm using Enigma - Principles of Lust for Malcanthet.
I used Cry Little Sister for Vanthus' intro, and Duel of the Fates for his battles.
Here is some of the stuff I've used so far.
Olman Village
Olman Village 2
Olman Village 3
Olman Village 4
Laogroat
Golismorga
Lost Citadel
Avner explains the Olman
Return of the Lost PC
Bard inspires Courage
Flying on a Pteranadon

Main Title is from Final Conflict. Didn't see Night Battle when I checked it out.
